Hey guys, remember when I was known for running wolfgames and not the Poll Tournament Queen?

So, here we go. The rules:

1. The character must originate from a videogame. You can't use Doc Ock because he was in some Spider-Man video game. I might allow exceptions if the villain originated in something else but became well-known because of a game.

2. The character must be a -villain-, not an anti-hero, antagonist, or a space flea that shows up at the last minute, and not Magus.

3. Speaking of Magus, Magus is the line. I'm not allowing Magus into the running because I do not consider him a villain. Delita and Jowy would be characters just on the other side of the line; they're similar to Magus in that they're antagonists, but they go from helpful allies to pretty evil despite their high minded ideals. I know this is going to cause contention with people because so many characters ride the line, but that's my feelings on it.

4. It's got to be a at least somewhat developed character. Because of this, most of these characters are going to be from RPGs. JENOVA probably qualifies; as though she's a space flea, she doesn't show up at the last minute, but she's not really a character.

5. It's fine if your villain is sympathetic! Kuja turns out to be somewhat sympathetic, but he's still firmly a villain. They don't have to be pure evil, they just have to be willing to *be* evil to accomplish their goals. Again, Magus probably qualifies, but he goes from villain to ally. If your character *gets better* during the game, no go.

6. Villains who are primarily comedic are a no. I love Ultros just as much as you and he'd probably win this poll, but he's not a serious villain. That being said, it's okay if your villain is a little wonky/funny as long as they're not present primarily for laughs.
